Once a formidable Naxal stronghold, Karregutta Hills served as the unified headquarters for major Naxal outfits, including the PLGA Battalion 1, Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee (DKSZC), Telangana State Committee (TSC), and Central Regional Command (CRC). These groups used the site for advanced training, strategic planning, and arms manufacturing.
HM Shah highlighted the symbolic significance of the operation, stating that the Indian tricolor now flies proudly over the hill that once symbolised the power of left-wing extremism. He reiterated the government's commitment to making India "Naxal-free" by March 31, 2026, as pledged by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"Our security forces have achieved a historic success against Naxalism, and I congratulate the brave CRPF, STF, and DRG personnel for their unparalleled courage," Shah said in a statement. "The entire nation is proud of your valour."
Shah also reaffirmed the government's resolve to eradicate Naxalism completely, assuring citizens that India’s fight against this decades-old insurgency remains steadfast and uncompromising.
